  1. If you have 58 minutes free time, I highly recommend watching this 1969 documentary film of the master gunsmith of Wlliamsburg. Every step of building a fine quality flintlock long rifle from “scratch”. https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/iy09lp/i_found_an_interesting_documentary_on_colonial/
  2. Yes….. $19.95 at Chuck’s Gun Shop in 1964 on Interregional Highway (I-35) opposite Concordia College. I deliberately wiped my saliva all over the lock & barrel to give it an “aged” patina.
  3. The Bakehouse owner Carl still gets a healthy lease check on that building. He is enjoying his retirement.
  4. Quicker than you think…..probably less than a second. The last time I fired this Tower .69 caliber repro inthe mid 1960s, it cracked the stock, broke the mainspring, and knocked me on my butt (from a squatting position).
  5. Are they pen pals with a Nigerian lawyer?
  6. Mrs.Brat used to put them inside those plastic eggs for the grandkids to “hunt” on Easter Sunday.
  7. The central core was packed with real strawberries. Maybe just temporary come on bait, but it was awesomely good.
  8. Quarters were good for parking meters and for throwing into the toll road change basket.
  9. Our neighborhood DQ is a Mayfield store. Never a problem and is really top notch. M&M Blizzards are my thing, but last week I tried the Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard. That is now my favorite….
  10. If Reveille barks, is the game over?
  11. Las Vegas slot machines went coinless years ago.
  12. My grandkids don’t hesitate to take folding $$.
  13. They already are, and have been for some time.
  14. Knock that off on my thread if you please.
  15. You guys are slow….. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-lebanon-hezbollah-iran-news-10-25-2024-0920f63542d158ad5999c481e421da00
  16. Bought this almost 30 years ago. It sure beats the sheet metal gun “locker” from Academy it replaced. I prefer the old school combination dial and it is lag bolted to the concrete slab.
